Group R and Group D have a 50/50 split in Senate and D controls ONLY by a tie- Break Group D has the slimmest majority in the House Group D tells Group R “ frick you. We will fundamentally change EVERYTHING from voting laws to spending. We might even pack the SCOTUS and kill filibuster rules. Oh, and we don’t even want your opinion on any of this. “ Also Group D “ oh shite. We have to do something that stinks first. Why are y’all not helping us?” frick Group D with Hillary’s dick.

Except that is not what happened or the way it happened.

JULY 2021 - McConnel says GOP will not participate in debt ceiling raise. Effectively telling Democrats you are on your own on this one! - Article -
LINK

AUGUST-SEPTEMBER
Democrats, now on their own since McConell told them they are on their own, go out and do just what he suggested, make up a budget and debt ceiling rise proposal without GOP input since they (GOP) they said they would not participate.

NOW -

So after telling the Democrats to take a hike, the GOP NOW says "Hey, you guys are so partisan and mean and unfair!! Why weren't we asked for our input in all of this". I don't have a link but that is what a GOP senator just said on television.

LOL!

Do you think anything I said happened only after July?

The D’s announced their “we rule the roost” plans IMMEDIATELY after the 2020 elections.

your reply is replete with half-truths and silliness excuses. Are you a Group D congressman or Senator. Because, you sound like it.

I don't understand Turtle and his group. They are a-ok with massive spending, deficit spending, but don't want to raise the revenue for it and don't want to raise the debt ceiling to fund it.

Why is this the path they choose? Why not be against the deficit spending from the start, and then you don't have to worry about the debt ceiling?

Take a class fron the school of politics. The dems used the debt ceiling to get things they wanted for years. Now Turtle is trying to use it to get what the RINOs want, whatever that is. It is common to hold the debt hostage for political gain. The dems have done this a lot. Every time the dems did it, I wanted the repubs to let the gov't shut done, but in the 11th hour you could count on the RINOs caving. Spineless cowards.
When the gov't shuts down only about 18% of it actually shuts down, and that is good for America. Sometimes they shutdown national parks. We can live with that. The gov't does enough damage, and they need to reduce their staff by 50%.
